Jordan: projects and investment
Modern renewables made up 10% of final energy consumption in 2020, up from 3% in 2015, and developers sell power to the National Electric Power Company, so solar and wind construction is increasing.

More about Jordan that matters for portable equipment
Jordan: industry on the ground
In 2021 Jordan's total energy supply was 51% oil, 38% gas, 3% coal and 8% renewables, so fuel storage, gas networks and power stations form its main flammable-materials infrastructure.
Jordan: industry on the ground
The Arab Potash Company holds a concession to 2058 to extract Dead Sea minerals, has its main plants at Ghor Al Safi, and is the eighth-largest potash producer worldwide.
Jordan: who works there
The Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company's activities include refining, filling gas cylinders, a lubricant factory and fuel marketing through JoPetrol, so one operator spans several hazardous-area process types.
The term · ATEX and IECEx
What “ATEX and IECEx” means for a smartphone
ATEX is the European legal framework for equipment used in explosive atmospheres (Directive 2014/34/EU). IECEx is the international certification scheme built on the IEC 60079 standards. Buyers outside Europe often ask for both: an IECEx certificate is the technical evidence most national regimes build on, while ATEX is the legal route into the European market.
For the IS-04Z1 both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and neither certificate has been issued. The marking target is II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4: equipment Group II (surface industry), Category 2 (Zone 1 gas), protection concept ib (intrinsic safety), gas group IIC and temperature class T4.
In Jordan. A Jordanian reviewer would expect IECEx evidence and JSMO conformity, which the sheet lists as in progress. ATEX evidence also helps international contractors working at Aqaba and the mining sites. A dual route lets one pack serve the operator and visiting teams. No certificate has been issued yet.

Questions · Jordan
Frequently asked questions
Can we buy an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Jordan today?
No. Nothing can be bought or taken into a classified area today: certification is in progress and launch is planned for Q4 2026. What is available now is the datasheet, the written certification schedule and evaluation units for safe-area use.
What does an ATEX and IECEx smartphone in Jordan cost?
SAMS has not published a price. Any figure you are offered for an uncertified Ex phone should be treated with caution; written indicative pricing is available for a defined quantity and site.
Is the IS-04Z1 ATEX and IECEx certified?
Not yet. Both routes are in progress with TÜV in Germany and no certificate has been issued. Any listing that says otherwise is wrong.
Which sites in Jordan does this cover?
The market guide for Jordan covers Dead Sea works, Eshidiya, Al-Hasa and Al-Abiad, Zarqa, among others. Site-level pages are linked below.
How will SAMS supply Jordan?
Through authorised distributors once certificates exist. Until then SAMS can send the datasheet and certification schedule and arrange safe-area evaluation units.
Do Jordanian sites accept ATEX or IECEx paperwork?
Operators commonly work to IEC 60079 and accept ATEX or IECEx certificates, but acceptance is set by each site's own procedure. Ask the operator's HSE team for its approved equipment list and provide certificates, marking details and manufacturer instructions with your request.
Where is the main hazardous-area refining site in Jordan?
The Zarqa refinery, run by the Jordan Petroleum Refinery Company, is the best-known, with refining, LPG filling and lubricants activity. Expansion and modernisation projects are planned or under way, so contractors work there. Confirm current access rules and device approvals with the company.
Is dust or gas the main concern in Jordan?
The market guide says Jordan's heaviest classified-area exposure is dust, at potash and phosphate sites, with gas at the refinery and Aqaba. Which applies depends on the area. Ask the operator for the zone classification, covering both dust and gas, before choosing a device.
